Even though I am not a huge fan of skinny jeans, I support them — kind of.

I have some slim-fit jeans that are slim enough for my taste, but I do not own a pair of super-skinny jeans appropriate for Pabst Blue Ribbon connoisseurs — it’s just not for me because 1) I am not a member of an indie band; 2) I do not think I am cool enough to don sterility-inducing garments; and 3) I’ll just say it: I need some wiggle room.

Spray-on fit? As skinny as it gets? Super-snug all over? You might as well buy a pair of women’s jeans (something that many guys do anyway).

Perhaps that’s what Levi’s did: They just “rebranded” a pair of women’s jeans as a pair of men’s jeans, a brilliant strategy.

I, like Mr. Colbert, cannot wrap my head around why this is a “tribute” to an ex-girlfriend. Perhaps Colbert is right: maybe the best way to get revenge (or pay homage) to an ex-girlfriend: dress like them.

Maybe Levi’s should start another line of men’s jeans that pays tribute to all the bad mothers out there called the “Evil Stepmom Jean.” It would have the dowdy, roomy fit and high waist of mom jeans.
